I don't think I have had a proper race with mine. Nothing worth speaking about.

They surprise a lot of people, my wife had a Focus RS in ours, and as it's debadged, he was probably scratching his head. :lol:

Post 538569 by blackpools60 on 2012-09-27 01:33:21
The 0.60 the Volvo is faster but the focus top end is 163mph but is the s60 limited to 155mph????

Well the RS is nice but I'd much rather have a Volvo. As the RS "people know there quick" but a Volvo surprises people :)

Have you met my wife? She was the pregnant woman at North Weald that was dying to get out on the strip. She's run a 7.79 0-60 in her old Cougar at Ford Fair, and the book time is 8.1, so she's more than capable of getting the best out of the Volvo. :D

Yeah, made a right monkey's breakfast against the Focus ST, though got it right when it counted against the Scooby. :P Next time we see you at the strip, you can race her, but if you lose, we'll never let you live it down.;)

Hang on y are people talking about RS focus as if its a god! It's a cheep tacky focus made down to a price, only good thing is its engine. We are meant to like Volvos and stick up for them! And about the 0.60 in an S60r that's hard to do and saying scoobys focus etc beat them off line.... well because of the comments I took mine out at 3am and mine did from standing start to 0.60 in under 6 second so stop bad talking these cars please.
Post 538759 by JamesT5 on 2012-09-28 17:51:05
I had an A Reg Austin Metro in mine once.
But no seriously, I really don't think racing cars is a good idea at all. If you want to do that, take it to a track day.

still a second quicker than yours with 80bhp less:wave23d:
Post 538804 by stribo on 2012-09-28 20:18:26
Again, strictly speaking under a second less (5.7 for the S60R), and how much does the Scooby weigh?
